Description

A Ground Object represents a stationary entity located on the surface of a celestial body. It is defined by geodetic coordinates (latitude, longitude, altitude) and maintains its position relative to the rotating planet-fixed frame. Ground objects can have components attached to them, such as antennas or sensors.


Example Use Cases

  • Ground Stations: Represents communication facilities on Earth or other planetary surfaces.
  • Surface Assets: Models fixed infrastructure or observation points on celestial body surfaces.
